They don’t have to, and they don’t want to. If the car is wrecked, the dealer knows that nobody will buy it. Remember, if its too good to be true, its probably a lie. Always buy a car history report before buying a car.

They are not required to tell you anything by law. Especially if it’s being sold with “as is” marked on the window slip. It’s your responsibility to get a car report. One is called carfax. I’m not endorsing them it’s the only one I know. Also the only have reported incidents. If it were never reported to an insurance company then you won’t find a record. Do you have a friend who works on cars ( professionally ) that can help you?
